Accidentally Pregnant After Divorcing The Billionaire (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 120

Miriam asked, “Are you leaving Nareigh?”

“I’m not, but I won’t bother Teresa anymore,” Jonathan replied.

Miriam paused, unsure of how to respond. “You want to remarry, but Teresa doesn’t. Benny and I have tried everything to bring you two together, but you know how stubborn she is. Even though you’ve built a successful career, it doesn’t change. anything,” she said.

Maybe it’s time for you two to let go and start over with someone else,” Miriam added.

Jonathan remained silent for a long time, his expression clouded. Finally, he asked, She wants to be with that Truman guy, right?”

Miriam frowned, saying, “I don’t know that person as Teresa never mentioned him. But what I meant wasn’t that she has found someone new, just that it might be best for both of you to move forward separately and let the past go.”

“I understand,” Jonathan responded.

Miriam observed Jonathan as he walked away, wondering, ‘Does he truly understand? I hope he doesn’t overthink. Did I say the right thing?‘

After a feverish night and day, Teresa finally felt a bit better by early morning. She got out of bed, pulled a jacket around her shoulders, and went to get some water but bumped into the couch.

Miriam, disturbed by the noise, opened her eyes with a yawn. “You’re awake? How’re you feeling? I kept your food warm in the pot. I’ll get it for you now,” she said concernedly.

Jonathan had prepared everything for her–thick, creamy gruel that was golden and fragrant, rousing her appetite, stir–fried vegetables, and pudding. Knowing her sore throat, he also peeled her an orange

Teresa sat down, coughing lightly, and croaked, “Why’d you call him over? It feels awkward.”

Miriam folded her hands together, looking helpless. “I didn’t know who else to ask. You don’t have anyone besides me, and, regardless of how he was, Jonathan’s a great cook. I figured eating your favorites would help you recover faster.”

Miriam pushed the food toward Teresa, coaxing, “Here, eat something.” But Teresa looked pale, her appetite completely gone.

“Even if you’re not hungry, just ea successfully unlocked! d softly. “For Jonathan’s sake. He spent two hours cooking this. He even lied the oranges into pieces for you. Show him some appreciation.”

comforting.

Miriam had something she wanted to say, but seeing how exhausted Teresa looked, she decided to wait until she recovered. After finishing her meal, Teresa fell asleep for several more hours.

When Teresa woke up again, her mind felt clearer, but her hand was still clasped in a tiny, warm grip. Surprised, she looked down to find Michael with his head resting by her bedside. She hadn’t noticed when he had come in, but there he was, holding her hand tightly.

She ran her fingers through his hair, stirring Michael from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes, saying, “Mommy, you’ve been sleeping a long time.”

Teresa’s heart warmed as she asked, “Why are you sleeping here?”

Michael pressed her hand to his face and said quietly, “I was afraid you’d leave me.” Hearing this, Teresa was torn between laughter and tears.

Michael sniffled and leaned his forehead against hers, adding, “I don’t want you to be sick. I want you to be okay.”

Teresa brushed his hair gently, soothing him, “I’m okay. It’s just a little cold. I’m all better now, aren’t I?”

Teresa had always thought of death as just a quiet end. But now, realizing that she had something worth holding onto, she couldn’t leave Michael alone in this world. She decided to stick around a little longer–at least until he grew up.
